Deadline have posted a list of actors who are being considered for the title role in the epistolary adaption – including fan favourite Adrien Brody!

According to Deadline:

Now we can tell you the list of actors who’ll be screen testing for the role of young Abe Lincoln this week and next: Benjamin Walker, James D’Arcy, Adrien Brody, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, and Josh Lucas. It’s a very interesting mix of semi-knowns and unknowns, stage and screen vets.

If you were unaware, the story is basically a re-imagining of Lincoln’s life where the president is an accomplished vampire killer – an obsession which he develops after the bloodsuckers murder his mother.
